“Commander Heret!” Tetsago exclaimed, in shock that the leader of Teal Tie was waiting for the trio on their private jet. Tarvi, Riddick, Barkon, and Tetsago saluted their C.O. as soon as they entered the jet. “At ease.” Heret ordered “You have the dragon balls?” Heret asked, glancing from one fighter to the next. “Right here, sir” Tetsago said, handing a pouch with the three balls in them to Heret. A smile grew on the commander’s face and he motioned for the four of them to sit down. The fighters plopped down in their seats, all four in major pain after the battle. “The city is in ruins, commander.” Riddick said, looking up at Heret. “That’s fine. I’m just glad the Dragon balls were retrieved.” Heret replied, walking back to his seat “We’ll head back to HQ. He should be getting back from the other side shortly.” Heret said, looking out the window as the jet streaked out of the West City airport.

Magus and Pikoron sat at the table with Master Roshi and the turtle. Magus was hurling bowl after bowl of stew down his throat while Pikoron sipped a cup of water. “I suppose you won’t be eating much during our training?” Roshi asked the green boy. Pikoron shook his head “I don’t really need food” the namek replied. Roshi took in another mouthful of rice while Magus continued his gluttonous behavior.

Gilgamesh awoke from his slumber and continued climbing for three hours more, when the top of the tower finally came into view. “Alright!” he screamed, pulling himself up into the enclosed area at the top of the tower. “Where’s the hermit?” Gilgamesh asked, looking around the room. The halfbreed noticed three pots against the wall and walked over to them, lifting the lid on the right-most pot. The halfbreed looked inside and saw Master Roshi, Saiyaness, Leth, and himself on the beach at Master Roshi’s Island. “Hey, that’s before we started our training.” Gilgamesh said, peering down into the pot.

“I usually don’t allow three pupils” Master Roshi said to Leth, Gilgamesh, and Saiyaness “But I don’t usually have a..”he paused a moment and gulped “potential filled group” the old pervert added, staring at Saiyaness. Leth grinned “So you’ll accept the three of us?” he asked. The old man nodded “You three kids are in.” The three halfbreeds jumped into the air in jubilation, pumping their fists and the like. “If you get good enough, I may even enter you in the coming Tenkaichi Budokai.” the master said while entering his house.

The CCIA helicopters landed in the streets of West City. Zed jumped out of one of the choppers and walked over to the trio of operatives. “Get in the chopper.” Zed ordered, barely looking at the three “When it lands, we’ll have a medical staff look you over, then we’ll prep you for the next mission.” Leth, Saiyaness and RJ got into the nearest helicopter and took off, while the CCIA operatives below did a sweep of the area to clean out any remaining Teal Tie soldiers.

Gilgamesh closed the lid on the first pot and reached for the middle pot’s lid. The water in the pot rippled and he saw the island Roshi trains his pupils on. “Hey! It’s that guy I gave directions to...” Gilgamesh said, of Magus. “Oh, and the little namek from the tournament qualifier's, too.” Pikoron and Magus were delivering milk, but weren’t struggling as much as the previous students. “You kids are doing well.” Roshi said, as he weaved between the tree’s, his students following behind him closely. Gilgamesh smiled and closed the lid, then reached for the last pot.

The water in the last pot rippled, and Gilgamesh saw some of his friends from the tournament standing together. “Hi Sai!” Gilgamesh shouted, looking into the pot “Those two nameks are there, too.” he said of Morach and Aydin. “I don’t know who those guys are…” the halfbreed thought as Tarvi and RJ came into view. Those five faces faded away, and a new face appeared. A young man with blue eyes and long silver hair flashed in the water several times, the last few times, his face was splattered with blood. Gilgamesh’s heart started beating fast and he closed the lid on the pot before he could see the next scene. “I don’t like that guy.” Gilgamesh said before noticing a breeze coming from a door on the other side of the room. Gilgamesh walked through the door and up some steps to the next part of the tower.

Aydin and Hybreed were laying down, looking up at the night sky. Hybreed pounding his fist against the ground “Calm down, Hybreed” Aydin said “It won’t be much longer now” Hybreed sighed “we should be there already” the icer said, coldly. “Your frustration won’t get us there any faster.” the namek replied. Hybreed rolled over and faced the opposite direction. “Good night, namek.” Hybreed said, angrily.

Fifty or so miles away from the Hybreed campground, Miguelito and Morach were making themselves at home for the night. “So you’re going to get rich?” Morach asked his friend as they sat near the campfire. Miguelito grinned and nodded “Just one of the perks for winning the championship.” the human said, rubbing the back of his head. “Everyone wants to give you money to endorse one crappy product or another. The other day was the first time I ever drank ‘Sprunk’.” Morach laughed and laid back on the grass “G’night, man” Morach said, closing his eyes. “You too.” Miguelito said, doing the same.

Riddick, and Barkon were asleep on the jet traveling north west when Tetsago heard a beeping noise coming from Heret. “We’d like you to do the inspection of our new prison soon, commander.” A voice said over Heret’s computer. “Fine, as soon as I drop these four off, I’ll head there immediately.” Heret responded. “They will meet him at the gate and brief him on the happenings since he left. Then the other four cities will easily fall with his assistance.” Heret giggled for a moment, then shut his laptop.

Gilgamesh got to the upper level of the tower and saw a white cat holding a staff at the center, underneath a pillar with three small, elephant statues holding a jar on their trunks. “Hi kitty.” Gilgamesh said, walking toward the cat “Are you the hermit’s cat?” the halfbreed asked “No” the cat replied, looking up at Gilgamesh “But I am a Hermit Cat, or Cat Hermit. Whichever you prefer.” Gilgamesh took a step back “You can talk, kitty?” the boy asked, tilting his head. “Of course I can talk, I am Karin, the hermit of Karin’s tower.” Gilgamesh smiled “Oh, then can you give me some of that Sacred Water?” Karin stared at Gilgamesh for a few minutes in silence, then pointed to the flask “Be my guest” Karin said, smiling sheepishly.

Doctors poked and prodded Leth and RJ while another set picked the glass out of Saiyaness’ arms. “I’m fine” Leth and RJ said in unison. “Got it” a doctor said, pulling the last shard of glass out of Saiyaness’ arm. They bandaged up Saiyaness’ arms and a CCIA operative motioned for the three of them to follow him. RJ, Saiyaness, and Leth were led down a long hall and into a briefing room where Zed was located. “You three performed adequately on your first mission together.” The pudgy commander said. “Unfortunately, there were twenty-three thousand fatalities in their strike.” The three operatives sighed and slouched down in their seats.

Aydin, Hybreed, Morach, and Miguelito woke up at the same time “Let’s get going” the four said at the same time. Aydin and Hybreed hovered into the air and began flying north, while Morach and Miguelito sprinted north on foot “We could probably get there faster by flying” Morach said to his human companion “Yeah, but our legs wouldn’t get much stronger by flying, would they?” the human asked, smirking as he ran. “We’ll be there at dawn” Aydin said, forcing a chuckle from Hybreed “That’s the first good thing you said on this trip, namek!” Hybreed cried as he sped up to reach the destination faster.

After delivering milk all over the island, Pikoron and Magus dropped to their knees, gasping for air. “Time for your mid-morning exercises” Master Roshi said “You have to plow those fields.” the master continued, pointing to a great expanse of grassland “With your bare hands” the old man added. Pikoron dropped onto his face, while Magus fell to his back. “Get to it, or no breakfast!” the turtle hermit shouted.

The Teal Tie Jet landed on the airstrip and allowed Riddick, Tetsago, Barkon, and Tarvi to exit before taking off again and heading south west to inspect the prison. “We have to greet the bastard” Tetsago said, walking toward the building. “I hate that guy” Tarvi responded, following after Tetsago with Barkon “I think he’s kinda cool” Riddick added, following after the group. The four entered the main building, passing the dozens of armed guards on the way in. The group made their way down a long hallway and through a set of double doors into a gigantic room with what looked like a giant door frame, big enough for a bus to pass through easily. Inside the frame was a metallic, rippling substance. There were several strange markings on the frame and numbered dials all around, as well.

Gilgamesh reached for the flask, and was kicked in the back by Karin. Gilgamesh shouted in astonishment and jumped away “You said I could get some!” the halfbreed yelled, walking toward the pillar again. Karin nodded “Go ahead” the cat said again. Gilgamesh reached for the bottle, and had it taken right before he could get his hands on it. “That darn cat” the halfbreed muttered, turning around to see Karin standing there with the bottle’s handle hooked on the tip of Karin’s staff “If you want the water, you have to take it from me” the cat said.

“You did, however, prevent the city from being completely destroyed, and I guess if you didn’t stop those four psycho’s they would have killed more people.” The three operatives were silent. Zed cleared his throat and the slide changed to a picture of the Teal Tie HQ “After a brief rest to recover your strength, you three will be dropped off here, to take out Teal Tie’s head quarters. It’s well guarded and will have the four warriors you fought, plus most of the soldiers. So, just be advised to watch for them. The operative that led the three there opened the door and guided the trio to a lounge.

A figure could be seen behind the metallic substance “I was hoping he wouldn‘t make it back” Barkon whispered to Tarvi. The android chuckled as the man walked through. “I’m finally back” the man with long silver hair, and white skin said, looking around the room “Nice to see you again, General Sephiroth” Tetsago said with clenched teeth. Light reflected off his left, metallic shoulder guard. He had black boots, black pants, and a long black coat that hung down passed his knee’s. His shirt had a large ‘v’ neck, exposing his chest and stomach, but had an ‘X’ shape cloth covering part of the exposed area. Sephiroth’s muscular arms were completely covered by black sleeves, and he also wore black gloves to hide his skin completely. “I see you still have your sword” Tetsago added, glancing at the sheath hanging at Sephiroth’s waist “I would never leave the Masamune behind.” Sephiroth said, grinning.

“Fine” Gilgamesh said, lunging at the bottle that was being danced in front of him. Karin spun around and smacked Gilgamesh on the back of his head with the other side of his staff. The halfbreed cried out in pain and jumped at the cat again. Gilgamesh chased Karin for several hours, barely able to lay a hand on the Cat Hermit. Gilgamesh stopped his pursuit, gasping for air “You should just give up.” Karin said “You did good to climb the tower, you’re the first in almost four hundred years.” Gilgamesh’s eyes got big “Just how old are you, cat?” the halfbreed asked. Karin rubbed his whiskers “hmm, around twelve-hundred years old.” Karin said, proudly. “The cat I had died when he was twelve. You’re doing a good job at living!” Gilgamesh said, giving Karin a thumbs up “I’m not gonna quit just because you’re really old, though!” the halfbreed shouted, jumping at Karin.

“You have eight hours to rest before you have to leave” the operative said as he left the three in a small room with a bed and two couches. There was a small television on a stand for people to watch. There was a couple vending machines and a water cooler in the corner. “It seems like we aren’t getting any special treatment” Leth said, the door slamming behind the operative guide. “Let’s just rest up and get this next mission over with to get back in favor with Zed.” Saiyaness said, plopping down on the couch. RJ jumped onto the bed and closed his eyes “Wake me before the mission” the human said, passing out.

“Glad to see you four are doing well” Sephiroth said, looking at his four greeters “But where is Commander Heret?” the silver haired man asked. Tetsago sighed “He’s inspecting the Prison in the South.” the android answered. Sephiroth smiled and walked up to Tetsago, he was barely as tall as the android’s shoulder. “How was your trip through the Cosmic Gate?” Tetsago asked, as his superior turned around again. “Very enlightening” the General said. Sephiroth grinned and shouted for a soldier to enter the room. Almost immediately, one of the Teal Tie Soldiers rushed in and saluted the General. “Give the orders to arrest Commander Heret when he lands at the prison.” Sephiroth ordered the soldier. The four greeters glanced at Sephiroth “I’m taking over operations from here on out” the evil General added. The soldier saluted Sephiroth and ran out of the room to send the transmission.

Miguelito and Morach were gasping for air during their run, so they took a short break. “Not too much further now” the namek said, falling to his backside. The human leaned up against a tree and tried to catch his breath “I just can’t wait to settle this whole ‘teal tie’ business.” Miguelito said, standing straight up. Morach smiled and glanced at his friend “I think there may be a fight” the namek said, laughing. Miguelito went along with the laughter “We can only hope” he added, turning to continue the run.

“Just over that mountaintop” Hybreed thought to himself as he and Aydin drew ever closer to the Teal Tie Headquarters. Aydin was smiling, knowing a great fight was about to be underway. “Hurry up namek!” Hybreed exclaimed as he blurred passed Aydin toward their destination. Aydin clenched his fist and darted after his companion.

Gilgamesh leaned up against a pillar gasping for air “What is this?” the halfbreed asked “It’s so hard to breathe here” he added. Karin smiled “We are at a very high altitude, so it’s harder on you if you don’t have good stamina.” Gilgamesh continued breathing hard as he lunged at the cat again. Karin flipped out of the way and started walking down the steps to the lower area of the tower. “Chow time” Karin said, his tail passing out of view from Gilgamesh. The halfbreed grinned and his stomach grumbled “Alright!” he shouted, chasing after the millennia-old feline. As Gilgamesh passed through the doorway, a small yellowish bean was flung at him by Karin. “Bon appetit” Karin said as he took a bite from his grilled fish.

Saiyaness peeled off the bandages that were wrapped around her arms. “Your wounds have completely healed” Leth said, staring at them. Saiyaness smiled and nodded as the Operative entered the room again “Time to go” he ordered, standing in the doorway. Leth nodded and threw a tennis ball at RJ. The ball bounced off the human’s forehead, awakening him. “Time to go, RJ!” Leth exclaimed, he and Saiyaness already at the door. “Crap!” RJ shouted, rushing out of bed to catch up with his comrades.

“What the hell do you mean ‘you’re taking over?’” Tetsago asked, glaring at Sephiroth. The general smiled up at the android “I’m taking over.” Sephiroth said again, nodding. Riddick smiled and clapped his hands “About time that nerd got taken out of power” he said, drawing stares from Barkon and Tarvi. “You can’t just overthrow our commander!” Tarvi cried, running over to join Tetsago. “And who is going to stop me?” Sephiroth asked, drawing his sword. The Masamune had a seven feet long, curved blade, that Sephiroth wielded flawlessly. Barkon ran over to join his two friends “We won’t allow it” Tarvi said, taking a step toward Sephiroth. “I won’t tolerate any insubordination in the new Teal Tie, Tarvi.” Sephiroth said, glaring at the android. “Me and Tetsago have been upgraded since you’ve been here last, we can take you. Barkon helping us and it will be a cinch!”

“One measly bean?” Gilgamesh asked, staring at the cat “That’s a senzu bean” Karin said “Just one will keep you full for ten days.” Gilgamesh frowned and threw the bean into his mouth. Gilgamesh chewed it, then swallowed and instantly felt full “Whoa” he said, patting his stomach. “Told you” Karin said, putting his dishes into a strange dish washer. Gilgamesh pounded his fists together “Alright! Now I’ll get that bottle for sure!” the halfbreed started for Karin, but the cat held out his paw “You have to go back down” Karin said, pointing at one of the four holes in the floor. “You jumped to get a head start, you have to climb all the way from the bottom.” Gilgamesh dropped to his rear, his mouth agape. “Get going” Karin commanded, laying down in his bed.

Saiyaness, RJ, and Leth boarded the high powered CCIA jet, and took off to the North. “You’ll reach your destination in three hours” the pilot said over the intercom. “How long do we have to do these missions?” Saiyaness asked, sighing. “We signed up for this” RJ said “So we’re stuck doing it for awhile” Leth cracked his knuckles “As long as there will be a good fight waiting for us, I’ll keep doing this.” he said, smiling at Saiyaness. “Not much time for a social life, though. Right Leth?” she asked. Leth shrugged “I’d rather fight then date, anyway.” he said, before being punched in the face by Saiyaness.

Sephiroth chuckled and swiped his sword at Tarvi. The diagonal strike ripped through Tarvi’s body, splitting him in half. Tarvi fell to his back and looked up at Sephiroth. “Can’t move?” Sephiroth asked, aiming his left index finger at Tarvi’s face. “Don’t Sephiroth!” Tetsago shouted, before the new Commander fired a red beam from his index finger into Tarvi’s forehead, splattering the android’s skull matter across the white tile floor. “Bastard!” Barkon yelled as he started to run at Sephiroth. The namek was grabbed by the back of his vest by Tetsago “We apologize” the android said, throwing Barkon back and bowing to Sephiroth. “It won’t happen again, sir.” Tetsago added, Sephiroth putting his sword away. The commander exhaled from his nose “Glad you came to your senses” Sephiroth said, glancing over at a grinning Riddick.

“We’re here!” Hybreed shouted, he and Aydin hovering over the Teal Tie base. “Let’s wipe them out” Hybreed added, he and the namek dropping to the ground inside the electrified fence. “What are you doing here?” a soldier questioned before Hybreed fired a blast through his throat. “that wasn’t needed” Aydin said, shaking his head. Hybreed laughed and fired a beam into the doorway, blasting open a large hole. “Those were doors. We could have walked through them” Aydin pointed out, as he and Hybreed walked amongst the rubble and corpses down a long hallway.

Gilgamesh climbed down the tower in two and a half hours and jumped onto the ground. He spotted Dora, but didn’t bother calling out to him. The Sun was rising and Gilgamesh began the climb once again, this time without jumping up. Gilgamesh sighed as he finally reached the top of the tower again. Karin yawned as the halfbreed pulled himself back into the bottom room. “Five hours” Karin thought “Took him a day and a half before..” Gilgamesh pounded his chest “Can I get the bottle now?” the halfbreed asked.

Magus continued his disturbing eating habits after he and Pikoron plowed the fields. The namek took a sip of water while Magus finished off the last of the rice. “Well” Master Roshi started to say, then paused moment as Magus let out a loud burp “From now until noon, we will be doing training for the mind” the old man stood up and walked outside, being followed by Pikoron and Magus. “Ah, man. I hate this stuff” Magus said, sitting on a log.” Pikoron frowned “I’ve yet to meet an intelligent halfbreed” he thought, as Master Roshi pointed to the blackboard.

Commander Heret’s jet landed on a long airstrip outside the Dali Prison. Surrounding the strip, and prison, was five hundred miles of desert, in all directions. From the airstrip, to the prison, was a one mile road, wide enough for two vehicles to drive on comfortably. “It’s a dry heat” Heret said to himself as he stepped out onto the tarmac. A couple military vehicles were just entering the runway from the prison to pick him up. Heret started walking toward them and smiled as he saw the finished masterpiece in the distance. The prison was comprised of three towers, each over one thousand feet tall, and connected by bridges near the top of each tower. Tower one was the main prison, capable of housing over 30,000 prisoners at one time. Tower two is a training facility, which includes a full sized roman-styled coliseum, and a research lab where the Teal Tie scientists continue discovering more powerful weaponry. Tower three, is a housing facility, and southern offices for the army. There are large turrets and cannons at the top of each tower, capable of shooting down any unwanted aircrafts that may come too close. The two Teal Tie vehicles pulled up, and several armed soldiers stepped out and aimed their rifles at their former commander.

A large explosion erupted, destroying the door leading out to the entrance of the Teal Tie base. The wind blew Sephiroth’s hair back, and the new commander peered into the smoke. Hybreed was the first to step through, dragging something in his left hand, he was followed closely by Aydin. “Targets three and six are still alive…” Tetsago thought to himself, cursing the Cyborg beneath his breath. Sephiroth chuckled “Intruders?” he asked, looking back at Riddick. Hybreed tossed the corpse of one of the soldiers to the feet of Sephiroth “That was your last man.” the icer said, spitting on the ground “All of you here will be dead before this day is over.” he added, glancing at Tetsago, Riddick, and Barkon, before shifting his eyes back to Sephiroth.

Karin dodged another attempt on the jar, then another, and another. Gilgamesh was persistent in chasing down the incredibly old cat. “Damn!” Gilgamesh shouted after slamming into one of the large pillars, following a miss on the jar. Karin licked his paws and wiped his face. “You’d better hurry up if you want to help your friends” the cat said, turning his back to the halfbreed. Gilgamesh sat up and moved his purple hair out of his eyes “What do you mean?” the boy asked, tilting his head while continuing his stare. “There will be death.” Karin said, turning his head back towards Gilgamesh.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Heret asked as he was pushed up against the military van and handcuffed. The soldiers continued pointing their rifles at their former commander as they threw him in the back of the van and chained him down. “Commander Sephiroth has decided that you will be locked away for the rest of your life” one of the soldiers stated as he stepped into the van and sat near Heret. The two vehicles sped off toward the prison where they would lock the once proud leader away in a cold, dark, prison cell.

“Now it’s time for lunch.” Master Roshi said, slamming his book shut, waking Magus from his trance. The halfbreed’s eyes lit up as he raced back to the house to chow down. Pikoron continued reading from some of Roshi’s old books as his master walked up the steps to his home. “Come on in, Pikoron.” Roshi called “There’s a tall glass of water for you.” the namek smiled and closed his book, then followed his Master and fellow student inside.

“Riddick!” Sephiroth shouted “Prove your loyalty and take them down.” the new leader commanded. Riddick nodded and raced at the two opponents. Hybreed turned his head to the incoming adversary, but stood motionless as Riddick prepared to punch into him. A pair of green arms stretched out and grabbed the halfbreed by the neck with one hand, and punched him in the stomach with the other. A stream of blood shot out of the unassuming Riddick’s mouth. “Release him” Hybreed commanded, his friend loosening his grip and allowing Riddick to drop to his knees, gasping for air. Sparks began flowing around Hybreed’s tail as he slapped it against Riddick’s chest, launching the halfbreed through the air and through the far wall and into the dirt outside. Sephiroth narrowed his eyes and smirked “well, this will be fun, then” the Commander said, stepping forward.

Morach and Miguelito stood at the top of a cliff overlooking the Teal Tie facility. “There’s a lot of smoke rising up from there.” Morach stated, looking up at Miguelito. “I guess the party started without us” the human said, grinning as he stepped out over the side of the cliff, letting gravity take him to the ground. Morach nodded and followed after him, another explosion going off at the military base in the distance.

“If you can’t get the jar from me” Karin started to say, dodging one of Gilgamesh’s lunges “Then there won’t be any point for you to even try and help your friends.” Gilgamesh glared at the cat “What do you mean!?” the halfbreed asked, frntically running at Karin again, only to pass through an after image. Gilgamesh darted his eyes back and forth, trying to spot his feline foe. “It means you won’t be able to help them. So there wouldn’t be any point in telling you, unless you can get the jar.” Karin shook his staff, allowing Gilgamesh to hear the splashing of water.

“Sephiroth was the champion before Miguelito” Tetsago thought, “It’s been three years since he’s been back in this dimension.” the android stared at the commander’s back as he walked towards the intruding Icer. “Should we help them take Sephiroth down?” Barkon whispered to his friend. Tetsago shook his head “We’ll wait until the time is right to strike.” Tetsago replied, focusing on Sephiroth.

“I’ll ask this first” Sephiroth said, looking over the pair of intruders “You guys want to join me?” the Commander asked. Hybreed chuckled “Aydin’s to much of a pansy to do what you guys do, and I don’t like you. So no” the Icer replied, getting into a fighting stance as Sephiroth stood merely a yard away. “Very well then” Sephiroth said, cracking his knuckles “looks like this is the end for you.” Sephiroth pulled his fist back, and thrust it forward, in an instant. Hybreed raised his forearms up to block, but the impact sent him flying back through the air and out the large hole he had blasted to get in the room. Sephiroth was statuesque, his arm still extended outward. He looked over at Aydin and smiled “your turn, green man” the commander said, standing up straight again.

Master Roshi, Pikoron, and Magus all lay in their hammocks after the adequate meal the turtle had prepared for them. “You have no idea how many students of mine have slept on these very hammocks” the old man said, staring up into the sky. Magus was already drifting off to sleep, after waking up so early, this nap was a welcome addition to the training regiment. “My pupils have all gone on to do great things for this world, so you two should appreciate what I’m doing for you.” Pikoron was beginning to doze off and started wondering about these other great students his master had taught.

Aydin got into a fighting stance as Sephiroth took a step toward him. Sephiroth spun around and slammed his foot against the side of Aydin’s face, forcing the namek to spin through the air before slamming against his back on the ground. Sephiroth smirked and jumped through the air toward the namek. Aydin breathed in deeply, then rolled out of the way as Sephiroth stomped on the ground where he was just laying. The ground cracked beneath Sephiroth’s stomp and the commander tilted his head and glanced at Aydin “You just gonna run?” Sephiroth asked, standing upright again. Aydin clenched his fist and prepared to attack, when an extremely loud shout filled the air. The building around them seemed to vaporize and Hybreed was floating in the air above the newly collapsed building.

The Icer aimed his palm down at the Commander of the Teal Tie army. “Dodonpa!” Hybreed cried, firing a bright beam of light down at his enemy. Sephiroth was smiling as he watched the beam continue toward him. As the attack closed in, Sephiroth shouted out and the beam exploded before striking him. A thick smoke filled the air after the explosion and Hybreed was unable to see where his opponent was.

As the smoke began to clear, Hybreed scanned the ground, and saw a trail of blood that lead further into the center of where the building once stood. Hybreed’s eyes widened when he saw Aydin, lying on his back with Sephiroth’s sword plunged into his forehead, blood flowing from the wound, dripping out over the side of his face and onto the ground. “I know how to kill nameks” Sephiroth said, pulling the sword from Aydin’s skull, then splattering it with a blast from his free hand. Sephiroth lifted his sword up into the air and watched as Aydin’s blood was absorbed into the blade. Sephiroth began laughing and sheathed his sword “I won’t need it for you” the commander said, floating up into the sky.

Riddick pushed himself up and walked toward his comrades that were watching Sephiroth float into the air. “What happened to the building?” Riddick wondered as he noticed Aydin’s corpse on the ground. “First one down” Riddick said with a grin as he walked over to Tetsago and Barkon. “I guess he killed the namek?” Riddick asked, as Sephiroth floated to eye level with Hybreed. “Yeah… he did it with ease.” Tetsago replied, the two warriors in the sky readying to fight.

“Now you two will swim to the other side, and back ten times.” Roshi said, as the three stood at the water’s edge of a massive lake. Pikoron and Magus smiled and nodded as they dove in and started swimming toward the other side. “Watch for sharks!” Roshi shouted, his words catching Pikoron’s ears. “What he say?” Magus asked as the continued onward. Pikoron paused and stopped swimming, Magus stopped as well and they looked at each other “He said something about sharks.” the namek said, trying to look down into the water. “But this is a freshwater lake.” Magus said, looking around. Just as the halfbreed finished talking, a giant mouth rose up out of the water behind them and stayed open as it came closer to them.

Sephiroth slammed the back of his fist against the side of Hybreed’s face, causing the icer to twirl around a few times, before Sephiroth brought a punch up into his stomach. Hybreed doubled over and began floating down to the ground, blood trickling down each side of his mouth by the time he had reached the ground. Hybreed was on his knees, still clutching his stomach as Sephiroth floated down in front of him “You should have joined me while you had the chance” Sephiroth said, drawing his sword. The commander raised his blade up into the air, the sun reflecting off it and began to bring it down towards the top of Hybreed’s skull.

“One is already dead” Karin said, Gilgamesh jumping at him. “Damn it!” Gilgamesh shouted, grabbing the jar, only to have it taken back by the pesky cat. “Tell me what’s happening!” Gilgamesh exclaimed, stomping his feet. “Your friends are dieing, and you’re just stomping your feet in a tower 4,000 miles away.” Karin said, shaking the jar “That’s all you need to know”

Just as the blade was about to make contact with the top of Hybreed’s skull, Sephiroth was kicked on the side of his face and sent flying back towards his minions. Hybreed looked up to see Leth standing there, grinning “Looks like you got into some shit.” the halfbreed said, watching Sephiroth wipe away some blood from the side of his mouth. Hybreed chuckled as Saiyaness and RJ walked up behind them. “You guys are gonna get wiped out.” the icer said, standing up. “But I have to kill that bastard for killing Aydin.” Leth glanced over at the corpse “I see” Leth said, his expression turning solemn “So he’s strong?” Leth asked. Hybreed nodded “Very.”

RJ shook his head “That’s Sephiroth.” the senior CCIA member of the bunch said, his team members staring at the powerhouse as he sheathed his sword. “He was the last winner of the Tenkaichi Budokai. After the victory ceremony, he killed all of the other competitors then flew off before police could arrest him.” Saiyaness frowned and glared at the grinning enemy. “Don’t worry sweetheart” Sephiroth said, bowing to his new foes “You won’t feel much pain.”

Hybreed’s tail swayed back and forth on the ground “I’ll let you guys get a turn on him, I won’t hog him all to myself.” RJ chuckled “I got this” the human said, stepping forward. RJ stretched out his neck and arms while walking ever closer to the motionless Sephiroth “You scared?” RJ asked, cracking his knuckles and stopping, 3 yards away from Sephiroth. “I’m going to enjoy killing you” Sephiroth said, his grin disappearing. “After RJ gets messed up, it’s my turn.” Leth whispered to Saiyaness, who sighed then nodded in agreement.

Pikoron and Magus looked down at their waists while Master Roshi started poking a hive above the two of them with his staff. “What are we supposed to do with these ropes tied around us?” Magus asked while his master ran and jumped into the bushes on the other side of the clearing. “Dodge the stings!” Roshi shouted to his pupils. The two lads looked up as a swarm of bee’s descended onto them. Barely any parts of their bodies were visible, the bee’s were a coat, stinging down into their skin. The two screamed in agony while running around in circles and panicking.

RJ threw a punch at Sephiroth that was easily avoided, then backed up to dodge one of Sephiroth’s kicks. The air from Sephiroth’s kick caused a cut across the human’s cheek. Blood dripped down from the wound and RJ’s jaw dropped “Whoa..” he said, Sephiroth readying for another attack. RJ smiled and snapped his fingers, sending the signal for his friends to attack. The three RJ’s from his split form technique jumped out from behind debris and other scattered pieces of broken building. The RJ with the cut on his face just grinned as his other selves went in for the attack.

“This group looks promising” Tetsago said to his namek ally. Barkon nodded “When should we help the-” Tetsago put his hand around Barkon’s mouth as Riddick’s eyes were watching them with peripheral vision “We can’t trust the halfbreed” Tetsago said “I’ll give a signal for go-time.” Tetsago removed his hand from his friend’s mouth and watched as Sephiroth drew his sword again “He has gotten much stronger since he left for the other world.”

The three RJ’s left their feet and were all airborne above Sephiroth when he whipped out his sword to counter their offensive. Sephiroth slashed across one of their throat’s, spraying blood on the ground. Split one in half from his bellybutton, the two halves falling to the ground, one half on each side of the other dead RJ. The last RJ still airborne was stabbed through the chest, the blade piercing out to the other side. “It was all in one motion…?” RJ said, in disbelief. Sephiroth was holding his sword in one hand while the RJ slid down the blade and to the handle, his body going limp. Sephiroth began laughing, then tilted the sword around so the dead body would slide off the blade “All too easy” the new Commander said, watching the blood get absorbed into his blade.

“Another one is close to death” Karin said, dodging Gilgamesh’s attempts. The cat hermit spun around as Gilgamesh went whizzing by, then smacked the halfbreed on the back of his head with his staff. Gilgamesh went tumbling forward and into one of the heaven stone pillars that held the tower together. Gilgamesh rubbed his head and sat down, breathing hard. “Come on kid, you’re going on your fourth day here, and you’ve barely managed to touch the jar. You should just give up.” the halfbreed glared at Karin and jumped to his feet. “I won’t…” he said, his hands forming fists. “I WON’T GIVE UP!” he shouted, the scream causing massive sound waves all around him.

Sephiroth sheathed his sword and cracked his knuckles “You’re not even as good as that namek over there.” Sephiroth said, motioning to Aydin’s corpse, with his head. The blood on RJ’s cheek began to dry as a slight wind blew across the battlefield. Sephiroth smirked and jumped at RJ, spinning through the air and slamming his foot against the side of RJ’s face. The human twirled around, and stopped just in time to have Sephiroth uppercut him into the air. The Teal Tie commander jumped up and kicked RJ in the stomach, sending the human into the dirt. Riddick began clapping “That was awesome, sir!” the halfbreed shouted. Tetsago and Barkon glanced over at Riddick with disgusted expressions on their faces.

“My turn” Leth thought as he ran out to prevent Sephiroth from killing RJ. The commander was about to crush RJ’s chest with his boot when he saw Leth running at him. “I’ll kill you later” Sephiroth whispered as he started his run at Leth. The two of them pulled their fist’s back, readying punches as they drew closer. Instead, though, Sephiroth jumped into the air and kicked Leth in the chest, knocking the halfbreed back and to the ground.

The extreme sound pushed Karin back and against one of the stone pillars, his staff and jar falling to the floor where he was standing. Gilgamesh stopped his yelling and his face turned to jubilation as he dove for, and grabbed the jar with both hands. “That was crazy” Karin said, picking up his staff “You definitely deserve to drink from that jar.” Gilgamesh was grinning widely as he took off the cap and started chugging the water. “I hope it’s not too late ” Karin thought, licking his paw to start cleaning himself.

Leth rolled out of the way as Sephiroth attempted to stomp him. The halfbreed aimed his palms at his opponent and shouted out “Kame Hame Ha!” A blue beam shot from Leth as he lay there on the ground. Sephiroth clenched his fists and shouted out in anger, the beam exploding before it struck it’s target. Leth peered through the smoke, as Sephiroth came charging at him. The commander slammed the palm of his hand against the side of Leth’s head and latched onto Leth’s ear and hair so he couldn’t get away. Sephiroth forced Leth’s face against the ground and started dragging him along as Sephiroth ran around in circles.

Gilgamesh pulled the jar away from his lips and stared at Karin “Hey! I don’t feel any stronger..” Karin smiled, obviously never tiring of explaining how people get stronger from this training. “Climbing up and down the tower built your strength. Getting the jar from me built up your speed and stamina.” Gilgamesh nodded his head “I guess so, I did climb the tower a lot faster the second time.” Karin nodded and walked over to the side of the tower to look over the countryside. “Your friends are still in danger.” the cat said, Gilgamesh running over to him. The halfbreed nodded and jumped up onto the railing “I have to get going!” Gilgamesh prepared to jump when he was stopped “Wait!” the cat shouted “There is a faster way to get there than running.”

Sephiroth lifted Leth up by his hair and stared at his scraped up face. “Wow, everyone here is so weak.” Sephiroth said, throwing Leth to the ground several yards away “Maybe I’ll have some fun with the girl before I kill her.” Leth’s eyes were barely open, until he heard the comment from Sephiroth. Leth began pushing himself up, trying to ignore the screaming pain in his face.

Sephiroth rushed at Saiyaness, whom was prepared for the assault. Saiyaness thrust her palm forward, sending a violent burst of wind out at her attacker. Sephiroth ran right through the wind, and was right up on her in an instant. Saiyaness tried to step back, but Sephiroth punched her in the throat, sending her down to the ground. Leth forced himself to a knee and looked over in time to see Sephiroth draw his sword and thrust it down into Saiyaness’ stomach.

A large cluster of golden clouds formed in front of Karin and Gilgamesh “That’s strange” Gilgamesh said “I’ve never seen clouds like those before. Karin laughed and pointed to the cluster with his staff “Those are called Kinto’un’s. If your heart is pure, you will be able to ride one.” Gilgamesh stared down at the clouds and nodded before jumping down into them. Gilgamesh landed softly on one of them and stared up at Karin, who was smiling. “Pick one out, Gil!” the cat exclaimed. Gilgamesh walked on the golden clouds and lifted one over his head “This one’s feisty!” the halfbreed grinned and pulled himself up onto it. “How do I fly it, cat-man?” the boy asked “Just tell it where to go, and it will take you there.” Gilgamesh nodded and yelled out “Take me to my friends!” the cloud didn’t move and Gilgamesh just stared down at it.

Saiyaness screamed in pain as the blood gushed out of her tattered Roshi gi, and out over her lips as well. Sephiroth was chuckling while twisting his sword around inside Saiyaness’ belly. The commander pulled his sword out and started walking back to Leth, who had just made it to his feet. Leth clutched his heart and fought back the tears as he ran toward her. Sephiroth was blocking Leth’s path, though and it became more clear that Sephiroth intended to kill him before he could make it to Saiyaness’ side. As Sephiroth was about to swing his sword into Leth, RJ stepped between them and forced Sephiroth aside. “We’re still fighting!” RJ shouted as Leth continued running to Saiyaness.

Sephiroth’s face soured and his eyebrows narrowed as he glared at RJ, who had grown two extra arms from the top of his shoulders. “You’re definitely a freak” Sephiroth said of the human “But I need to kill that other guy. He’s annoying.” RJ’s muscles tensed as he rushed at Sephiroth “I won’t let you!” Sephiroth ducked under RJ’s dive and jumped back to avoid RJ’s other set of arms. RJ blinked, then saw a bright flash of chrome, then got punched down to his knees. RJ felt a great pain and saw Sephiroth start walking over towards Leth and Saiyaness. “Hey! We’re not done!” RJ cried, blood spilling out of his mouth. The human tried to stand up, but was unable to get his body to obey. RJ’s felt his body begin to get numb and his eyelid’s grew heavy. After a few moments, he looked down at his stomach, and shook his head when he saw his entrails spilling out over the large gash.

Gilgamesh stamped his foot on the cloud “Tell it which direction to go!” Karin shouted, annoyed. The halfbreed nodded “Go northeast!” Gilgamesh cried, “Wait!” Karin yelled, tossing a brown pouch to Gilgamesh. “Take these Senzu bean’s with you. They could be invaluable in a fight.” Gilgamesh smiled and nodded before he pointed northeast again. The cloud sputtered for a moment, then took off in the designated direction. Karin watched as the gold vapor trail flew out of view “Good luck, kid.” Karin said, as he walked down to the lower level of his tower home.

RJ was unable to fight back the tears as he fell onto his back, his head tilting to watch Sephiroth’s stride toward his friends. “Sorry guys…” He thought as his eyes closed for the last time. Sephiroth smiled and looked back at the human’s corpse “Your friends don’t last very long” Sephiroth said, giggling.

“Come on Sai! Hang on!” Leth yelled, trying to keep Saiyaness awake. Leth was sitting with her, her head on his thigh “Don’t die! Please…don’t die!” The blood continued pouring out from the gaping wound in her stomach. Saiyaness’ eyes were half closed and she was unable to speak. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on you” Sephiroth said as he stopped his walk to stare at the pair. “As a master of death, I can tell you that she’ll be dead within a minute. Too bad you couldn’t save any of your friends.” Sephiroth shrugged as Leth’s tears ran down his face. He was clutching Saiyaness’ hand with both of his, until it finally went limp and her eyes glazed over.

Leth’s breathing was rapid “Did you love her?” Sephiroth asked, continuing his psychotic laughter. Leth grabbed his chest again thenlooked away from Saiyaness and glared up at Sephiroth. “You’re too weak to save any-” Hybreed came running in and slammed his fist against the side of Sephiroth’s chin before he could finish, sending the commander sprawling backwards and to the ground “Shut the fuck up you bastard!” Hybreed yelled, his tail lifted up off the ground and being controlled like a scorpion’s tail.

Sephiroth spat blood out of his mouth and stood up to face off against the angry Icer. “I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done here today.” Hybreed said, forming a fist. Sephiroth heard a strange sound coming from behind him and spun around to see Tetsago aiming his Arm Gatling Gun at him. “That’s the signal” Tetsago said to his comrade. Barkon nodded and opened his mouth wide, firing a large red beam that came up from his belly and out at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth frowned as Tetsago began opening fire on him as well. Barkon’s beam hit first, knocking the overlord backwards. Tetsago’s energy bullets came streaming in on Sephiroth, until the Teal Tie Commander was shrouded in smoke. “Fevered Pitch!” Riddick shouted, throwing a baseball sized green energy blast against the side of Barkon’s face. The blast exploded and sent Barkon spinning around before he fell to the ground. Tetsago turned and saw his friend laying on the ground with smoke rising up from his face, his leg twitching slightly. Tetsago shook his head and glared at Riddick, who was smiling.

“What the hell are you doing?” Tetsago asked, shifting his arm back to normal. Riddick nodded “Joining the winning side” the halfbreed said, wrapping his tail around his waist. “Good decision” Sephiroth said, thrusting his fist deep into Tetsago’s back. The giant android fell to his knee’s, drool flying from his mouth. Sephiroth stood behind Tetsago, smoke from the usurper’s attack’s still rising up from his undamaged clothing. “Keep an eye on them, Riddick.” Sephiroth said, slamming his elbow against the back of Tetsago’s skull and knocking him face first to the ground “But don’t kill them.” Sephiroth stepped over his former ally to get back to his fight.

Leth kissed the back of Saiyaness’ hand and set it down over her chest. He then wiped away his tears and stood up, looking down at her. Leth gulped “I…I will get you back.” He said, clutching his heart with his right hand. Leth looked over at Hybreed’s back and started walking to his newfound ally. “Just the two of us.” Hybreed said as Leth joined him by his side. The halfbreed nodded as he watched Sephiroth elbow the android in the back of his head and start his march towards them. “We have to kill him.” Leth said.

Sephiroth took up his psychotic laughter again, “Let’s see” Sephiroth started, raising his left hand “The namek I stabbed in the face” Sephiroth rose his index finger. “The human I gut like a pig” he said, raising his middle finger. “The girl I stabbed in the stomach” he rose his ring finger. “The two traitors over there will get what’s coming to them, eventually, too. Oh, I killed their friend as well.” Sephiroth nodded his head and stopped his walk about five yards from his pair of opponents “Such a busy day” he laughed again while Hybreed and Leth just got more and more annoyed. “I’ll go in first, you cover me” Leth said as he rushed at the terrible enemy.

Leth rose up through the air and spun around to kick at Sephiroth. Leth kicked at such a great speed that his leg caught fire just before it struck Sephiroth across the face. The impact scorched the side of Sephiroth’s face and forced him back a few steps. Leth landed in a crouching position and stared up at an angry Sephiroth. Leth then jumped up at his opponent in an attempt at a jumping uppercut, but Sephiroth stepped back and watched Leth go sailing overhead. Sephiroth reached up to grab at Leth, but Hybreed ran in and punched Sephiroth across the face with the back of his hand, knocking the would-be dictator several paces to the left.

Leth landed behind Hybreed and was about to take up fighting again when Hybreed rushed after Sephiroth “Cover me!” the icer called as he engaged Sephiroth. Hybreed pulled his fist back, preparing to Punch Sephiroth, when he was struck in the mouth with an incredibly fast punch from the enemy. Hybreed stopped his movement and clutched at his mouth while stepping back. Sephiroth grinned “Did that hurt?” the greater of the two evil’s asked. Hybreed’s mouth appeared to be full, and sounded like he was swishing crushed ice around inside it. The icer finally opened his mouth, allowing a river of his own blood to come spewing out over his bottom lip and to the ground. There were bits of the icer’s shattered teeth mixed in the large pool of blood that had formed at Hybreed’s feet. “Wow, that’s pretty bad, isn’t it?” Sephiroth asked, still laughing.

Hybreed’s eye twitched and he lunged at Sephiroth, but was punched in the stomach before he could even get off the ground. Sephiroth elbowed Hybreed across his face and sent him into the pool of blood he had spat up moments earlier. Sephiroth looked over to Leth and smiled “Looks like you’re the last man standing.” Sephiroth said, stepping over the thick Icer blood on his way to Leth. “Not so fast!” a voice called from the forest to the left.

Sephiroth and Leth each looked over to see Miguelito and Morach come walking out of the dense foliage. “And who are you?” Sephiroth asked, tilting his head. The human pointed to the belt around his waist “The Champion of the World.” Miguelito responded, walking onto the battlefield that was covered in dead bodies. Miguelito and Morach stopped their walk to survey the battlefield. The two saw all of the corpses and they each shook their heads “Was this guy responsible for all of this?” Morach called out to Leth. The halfbreed nodded his head “Yeah” Leth pointed to Sephiroth “He’s a demented son of a bitch.”

Sephiroth chuckled “With all these sheep coming to get slaughtered, I’m getting quite a workout.” Morach and Miguelito walked over and stood at Leth’s side. “He was the champ before you” Leth said. Miguelito smiled “Cool. This should be fun then.” the human said, peeling his belt off and dropping it to the ground. Leth shook his head “No, he killed so many already, and he did it calmly. It won’t be fun to fight him.” Miguelito shrugged “Morach and I can handle it, so you just stay back and watch the show.”

“I want to fight first” Morach said, tightening the red belt at the waist of his white gi as he walked towards the silver haired assassin. “Another namek, eh?” Sephiroth asked drawing his sword. “You think a sword can cut me?” Morach asked as Sephiroth ran at him. Morach held his arm up to block his enemy’s swipe. Sephiroth slashed at Morach’s arm, slicing all the way through it, then jumped back as he watched the namek’s forearm fall to the ground. Morach’s eyes widened and he stared at his arm on the ground. “guess I disarmed you.” Sephiroth said, watching his blade absorb the namek’s blood. “How troublesome” Morach said, a new arm shooting out of the stump.

Sephiroth smiled and sheathed his sword “you creatures have some cool abilities.” the commander said to the green alien. “Let me show you another one” Morach replied, thrusting his palm forward, sending a violent burst of wind out at Sephiroth. Magus’ wind blew Sephiroth’s hair back, but that was pretty much it. “Wow, your wind is pretty strong.” Sephiroth vanished from Morach’s sight “But I’m much stronger” Sephiroth whispered into the namek’s ear from behind. Sephiroth punched into Morach’s back, the namek’s chest taking the form of Sephiroth’s fist as it almost came out, before the killer pulled it back.

Miguelito’s jaw dropped as Morach dropped to his knees. The human frowned and ran forward to assist his ally. Miguelito threw his fist at Sephiroth, only to have it blocked with one hand, while Sephiroth kicked Morach on the back of his head and into the dirt. Miguelito grimaced and jumped back “Roga Fufu-Ken!” the human shouted as he sent a barrage of punches at Sephiroth. The punches kept flying, and Sephiroth kept dodging, Miguelito, unable to land a single blow pulled back, gasping for air. “heh, keep coming” Sephiroth ordered, mockingly “You almost had me!” he added, motioning with his right hand for the human to come at him.

Miguelito was still huffing and standing in the same place, when Leth ran and jumped over Miguelito, throwing a punch at Sephiroth. Leth’s fist traveled at immense speed and caught fire just as it made contact with his opponent’s forehead. The impact forced Sephiroth to stumble backwards. Leth landed and stood up straight as Sephiroth began regaining his balance. Leth drew moisture from the ground with a series of hand motions and formed it into three blobs of water floating in front of him.

Leth thrust his palm forward, sending the three water blobs out at Sephiroth. One hit Sephiroth in the face, the other in the chest, and the last on his throat. Sephiroth frowned and dried his face “That stung, you prick” he said, cracking his knuckles. Sephiroth raised his palm at Leth “Dodonpa!” Sephiroth yelled, shooting his red beam at Leth’s chest. Leth jumped up into the sky, avoiding the beam and looked down, but was unable to spot Sephiroth. “Right behind you” Sephiroth said, smashing Leth in the back, sending him to the ground.

Thick clouds formed in the sky high above the battlefield. Sephiroth floated above the only warrior left standing. Miguelito stared over at Morach, who was breathing lightly with his face in the dirt. “You’ll be joining him soon” Sephiroth said, landing a few feet away from Miguelito. The human shifted his eyes to look over at Sephiroth “Too bad you had to catch me after I came back from my journey.” the commander said, raising his fist to point at Miguelito “I’m so much stronger than anyone, now”

Raindrops started coming down, attempting to wash the battlefield clean of the blood. “Looks like I’ll have to use my finisher” Miguelito thought to himself, stepping backwards to get some distance between he and his enemy. “What you gonna do?” Sephiroth asked as Miguelito raised his hand. “I’ll finish this in one blow.” Miguelito proclaimed, a ball of fire forming in his palm. The fire burned strong, the rain doing nothing to it. Sephiroth smirked “You can’t beat me with that” Sephiroth responded, Miguelito running at him. “Fire Strike!” Miguelito exclaimed, launching his palm towards Sephiroth’s chest.

Sephiroth slapped Miguelito’s hand away before he could be damaged by the attack, then raised his right hand into Miguelito’s chest. A small dark energy ball that had blue electricity sparking around it shot in and through Miguelito’s chest, then out the other side. Miguelito was thrown through the air, leaving a trail of blood and back into the forest he and Morach had entered from. “Well then.” Sephiroth said, turning and walking over to Morach.

Sephiroth stood over Morach’s body and pulled out his sword “It seems I’m the namek exterminator lately.” he said as he sent his sword crashing down through Morach’s skull. The namek’s blood splashed out and over the side of the large wound. Sephiroth took his sword out and sheathed it before turning to the last person standing on the battlefield.

Riddick saluted Sephiroth “Great job, Commander Sephiroth!” the halfbreed shouted from across the battlefield. Sephiroth walked past all the corpses and snapped his fingers when he neared the center of where the Teal Tie headquarters used to be. A large hole in the ground opened up and a ramp that led into darkness could be seen. Several soldiers and military vehicles began rushing up the ramp to greet their Commander. “Cuff them” Sephiroth ordered, pointing to the surviving opponents that were unconscious.

Several troopers spread out over the battlefield and latched large metal collars around the necks of Leth, Hybreed, Tetsago, and Barkon. “What should we do with the corpses?” Riddick asked as he walked up to his leader. “Leave them.” Sephiroth ordered as he floated into the air “I leave you in charge, Riddick. Load up the prisoners and take them to Dali Prison.” Sephiroth began flying off to the east, then looked back to Riddick and smiled “We’ll execute them in public in Central City.”

Riddick saluted Sephiroth as he flew off to the east. The group of soldiers loaded the prisoners into military vans then got into their own vehicles. Riddick got into one as well and the convoy drove off towards a nearby airstrip.

Gilgamesh floated on his cloud, over the clearing where the great battle took place. All the military personnel had already left. He jumped off and landed on the ground “Saiyaness…” He said walking over and looking down at her. “No…” he murmured “I was too late.” he said, fighting back tears. A rustling in the far bushes drew him away from his fallen friend. Miguelito stumbled out of the jungle, blood gushing from the giant hole in his chest. “Miguelito!” Gilgamesh yelled, running over to catch the human before he fell in the dirt.


Next Time:

Is Gilgamesh too late to save Miguelito? Tetsago, Leth, Barkon, and Hybreed are tortured in the southern prison by the psychotic Riddick. Sephiroth stroll's through Central city for some mayhem and convinces the Earth President to hand over his title to him. Will Sephiroth succeed and plunge the Earth into a new era of darkness?
